Testing Testing

I don't consider myself a great cook. I grew up eating a certain amount of Mexican dishes (quite tasty Mexican dishes - Thanks Dad!). I can make a mean bowl of beans and rice. However, anything outside of Mexican and a few choice breakfast meals, my dishes don't always turn out very well. I don't have a lot of patience in the kitchen. I want meals that are easy and quick to make. Watching my husband roll out pasta for 10 minutes for ravioli at Thanksgiving wore me out! When a recipe is the slightest bit complicated, I take it to David who will most likely enjoy making the dish.

Tonight, David was running errands during the normal dinner prep time. I decided to venture into the land of cooking. I felt like something warm and comforting. I decided to go for vegetarian chili. I used this Weight Watchers recipe as my inspiration.  I changed up a few things. I used real onions instead of the suggested dehydrated. I added a bay leaf and added some boca crumbles and white beans. I also added a few more spices in my cupboard. The moment came when it was time to eat and it was DELICIOUS! Yahoo!

Yay! I'm glad it came out well. I've been making lots of comforting soup-y stew-y things lately, too. They're nice when it gets cold.
